Mercure Chiang Mai 4 stars

The staff at the Mercure are its major asset. The Hotel itself is dated but adequate. Bit of a trip into the city centre. But plenty of cheap transport. I don't pay for the breakfast buffet, last time I tried it, it was terrible. I highly recommend the breakfast buffet in The Mercure Bangkok, fabulous. One odd problem in the Chiang Mai Mercure is the mosquitoes.

I received a type 2 diabetes diagnosis the day before flying out, so I was under a lot stress and I had no idea how I was going to manage my diet when travelling (especially given my love for Thai street food, which is full of added sugar from what I've googled). My doctor's only advice was to "Use your best judgement". There were a couple of things on the restaurant menu that looked safe to me, and there were a lot of things at breakfast, but the biggest thing for me was that the hotel is conveniently located next to a big Tops supermarket and a Salad Terrace restaurant. The place is certainly a little rundown, but all the staff there make up for it in genuine sincerity. They don't always succeed in helping though, but they always gave it a good crack (which goes a long way in my book). There were a few instances where I was probably being difficult with the front desk when I was having trouble with the tours I've booked throughout my stay, and I guess my frustrations had got the better of me at times. I deeply apologise again ladies. Location wise, it was maybe a touch far from all the action, but it allowed me to put in the extra hour or two of exercise the doctor prescribed. It is also right next to the Chiang Mai Boxing Stadium and Miracle Cabaret. I didn't have time to see the Cabaret, but the Mauy Thai is certainly worth a visit. Thankyou Mercure Chiang Mai. You can be sure I'll be back soon.

Relaxing stay

This is my second time to residing at this Mercure. After one year check in, front desk staffs all remind me. I am very happy for their good memories

First and foremost, I'm a frequent visitor from Singapore to Chiangmai, after staying in a few different hotels , I have resign to Mercure Chiangmai Hotel simply because of their brilliant Service , Location , Convenience around the hotel vicinity, rooms are huge and my daily breakfast are so delicious with their local Chef preparing their best to give their guest a taste of Thai Authentic dishes. Location wise, must see Cabaret show and This boxing which is just beside the hotel property, and lastly, a must try of their their local Thai street food within walking distance
